After I cast the spell can go to Battle to the Death in the Hall, before the text shows up, I get a runtime error and the game shuts down. but the first time I started playing I got to the door before this happened. How can I fix this~?

I downloaded the demo of the first arc and was trying to set it up on my mac, but I'm having trouble finding the fullscrn folder. I've got everything up to that point set up, so does anyone know where I can find that folder?

For the demo version, you don't need to worry about the fullsrc folder because there is no installation phase. Just stick the patch folder in the demo folder and everything should work fine.

What does the runtime error exactly says? (A screenshot might be better in fact).
Also, do you have this problem if you get to that chapter from the previous one, chapter 13?

I tried the one before and it still didn't work. I'll get a screenshot.

Actually, I can't even get it to open now. It just shuts off after the Witch-Hunt logo and stuff. I'll try reinstalling the game and repatching it...

EDIT: I had to copy the game from the E:\ drive because the installation always got caught on the fullscr part. Might that be a problem? Cause this time I heard the waves and stuff before the game shut down. It's because I didn't properly install it, right?

For Episode 2, was there supposed to be music during the credits? Because there wasn't.

Spoiler for the Readme:

Problem: Some BGM arenít played at all.

Solution: Please be sure that your installation was done as described in section 3. For that, check the number of tracks and their file names and if they correspond to the CD files. Furthermore, be sure that your PC is set in Japanese locale before starting your journey to the Golden land.

So yeah, if your PC isn't set to Japanese locale while you are playing the game, you will miss a dozen of BGM and sound effects.

1) Yes, Episode 2 should have a BGM playing during the credits (liliana one)

2) Your friend probably got the very same issue then.

3) For each episode, you have the regular tea party unlocked after the said episode is done, and the ura tea party, "?????" that is unlocked once you have read the normal tea party.
Music Box is only unlocked if you finish completely the latest episode of your game (tea parties included). So for example, for episode 3 game, you need to finish reading ura tea party 3.

4) Not at all. the first 3 episodes share the same OP. Only episode 4 has a new OP.

In the japanese game folder, there must be the folder where the patch is, but you cannot have any sub directory in there.
Basically, in the main game folder, there should be the "[WH] Umineko English", and once you click it, you should have all the patch files. You cannot have "another folder" and then get the files.

Simply put, you must be able to reach the patch files as soon as you get access to the patch folder.
If it is still not working properly, try to launch the game first if it is working properly, and check the arc.nsa file size.

Ok well here's the [WH] Umineko English folder I have. I checked the size of the arc.nsa but I don't know what the size it is supposed to be for the game to work.
I also want to make sure that these are the patch files needed too....

Which version of the game do you have, and where did you put this folder? The error you're seeing usually happens when you put that folder in the wrong place.

By the way was the charm in the dvd case or inside the package?

I picked up my package from the post office today and it also contained a pawn chess piece (ordered from Himeya). It was in the package, not the DVD. I really like the gold trim and Star of David. I wonder if anyone got a piece other than a pawn?

I got one too! I thought that I hadn't, but I felt around in the shipping package (which I luckily hadn't thrown away yet) and it was sitting in the corner. I wonder why we got them? Other than looking like a chess pawn, does it have any significance to Umineko?

...I feel kinda stupid for being really late; half a month, I really should check more. But thank you! Now to wait for Ep 4 to be finished (or at least the first part, since it is really huge. I feel sorry for you guys D=)!

I left my charm at work (decoration ), but on the back it says Umineko no naku koro ni... something, something, "melon books" something, something.

.....My Japanese sucks and I left it at work, what do you people want from me XD ?

I originally had the charm on my purse but... it's so pretty, and I'm so rough with my purse sometimes that I took it off for fear i would loose it ^^; .

EDIT- I'm at work now, so now I can "read" the back of the charm! "'Umineko no naku koro ni' kanji- kanji for the number 4- kanji I should know but I can't remember- melon books - kanji kanji kanji... charm."

.....Have I mentioned that my Japanese sucks? (thank god for The Witch Hunt XD )
